Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:

        Bm  A    D       A
I'm the son of a highway daughter
G       A    D
Born in gasoline
  D         A           Bm       A
I traced the steps of my foolish father
    G                        A
And danced with the devil in Galilee
         D   A        Bm            A
It was a cold winter, ice above the water
    G           A          D
And nails stuck between my toes
   D       A         Bm        A
So I cried out and I buried my doubt
            G     A         D
And all the women along the road

Verse 2:
           G
And I went down to Dublin County
              D        A         G
Where I found God in a bottle of wine
      G                        A
And I headed up north thinking I could find
    D       A        G
Any work or peace of mind
       Bm                     A        D
Nobody sells that around here too much anymore



Verse 3:

  Bm     A             G      D
I woke up stoned with a bag of bones
G      A     D
Laying in my bed
        D         A             Bm       A
She was breathing fire, I was a worn out tire
G                       A
Trying to brush her ash outside of my head
          D   A     Bm              A
It was an easy game, nothing in the chase
       G                A           Bm
Needed something just a little more cold
     D         A        Bm      A
So I traded her in for a bag of sin
      G         A        D
And I headed on down the road


Verse 4:
          G
And I got lost in California
               D              A       G
Where I'd been waiting on the days to rain
          G                   A
But I was looking to find any reason to hide
       D    A      G
But no reason ever came
               Bm                     A
And all of the lonesome sounds of the streetlight
        G         A           D
Pushing strangers along their way


Bridge:

G A G A G

                       A
That town kept calling me
                       G
That town kept calling me
                       A
That town kept calling me
                            G
But, that town kept calling me
                       A
That town kept calling me
                       G
That town kept calling me
                           A
That town kept calling me, yeah

Yeah, yeah
